英语变化迅速,新词不断涌现。今天给大家介绍一个英国年轻人中流行的词Yummy Mummy。
Yummy 一般是说很好吃的东西,不过它也可以用来形容很吸引人。比如说。 He's yummy. She's a bit yummy.
yummy mummy is someone who is a mother but who is also very beautiful. 这个词是和年轻妈妈们有关,很多妈妈们为了宝宝忙上忙下,根本就没时间考虑到自己的外貌。但是像那些名人妈妈们,因为有一大堆人帮忙,所以不像一般妈妈们那么受累,还是很时髦,很漂亮。
小贝的妻子维多利亚已经是3个孩子的母亲了,but she always looks great, and she is very thin and fashionable。而安吉丽娜·朱莉都有4个小孩了,却依旧光彩照人。像她们这样的年轻漂亮妈妈都称得上是yummy mummy!
Yummy 在这里的意思是漂亮,引人注目,它和 mummy 加在一起非常押韵。所以这个词在电视,杂志上都特别流行。
请看下面的两段对话:
对话一:
A: Oh these yummy mummies make me sick. Look how thin she is--she only had a baby 6 months ago.
B: I know! I had mine 2 years ago and I still can't lose the weight.
对话二:
Jo: Now Helen, you're having a baby--do you think you'll be a yummy mummy?
Helen: I wish Jo but I don't think that's going to happen.
